What a weekend. Apartment cleaned. One whole day on the road. And now – with ironing still ahead! – a Christmas card. I’m on a roll. I started out with this fortnight’s prompt over at the Jingle Belles: Special Delivery! Anything postal. I was brooding over that a bit and this is the result:

Just so you know: origami drives me crazy, but this youtube tutorial made me come up with a decent result (but don’t look too closely!). I have to say, though, that I have kinda fallen in love with this kimono-clad Santa; the rising sun in the background. The vintage postcard and the papers are from Japan; my friend Iko has given them to me a while ago. And have you noticed those cute details on the stamp?
